Venous thrombosis is not uncommon in paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH). However, a thromboembolic event as the presenting symptom of PNH is rare and can be life-threatening, when affects the sagittal veins in the brain.\u0000\u0000 Case Report: A 28-year-old female presented to the facility with left-sided hemiparesis. Initial workup revealed a right-sided subacute hemorrhagic infarct of the parietal lobe, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) venography demonstrated extensive venous thrombosis involving the sagittal, straight, and transverse sinuses, with secondary edema in the involved hemisphere. Thrombotic events may affect up to 50% of PNH patients and account for at least one-third of mortality in PNH. Although disease presentation in PNH is variable, cerebral venous sinus thrombosis as the first thrombotic event in disease presentation along with the absence of hematuria makes this case unique. High suspicion of thrombosis and a differential diagnosis of PNH should be considered in young patients presenting with these symptoms, even in the absence of hematuria. Ravulizumab has significantly reduced thrombotic events, and these therapies should be immediately commenced upon high suspicion of thrombosis. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation offers the only curative approach for PNH to date.\u0000\u0000 Conclusion: Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria is a very rare and life-threatening disease. Hematuria is not always present in this disease. Complement inhibitor therapy should be started immediately upon confirmation of the diagnosis to decrease future thrombotic events. Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria patients may need allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, which is the only curative approach available today.\u0000","PeriodicalId":13833,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Case Reports and Images","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91269395","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The sinus tract-tracing indicated 26 tooth as the source and periapical radiography showed a chronic apical periodontitis lesion. A cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) demonstrated hyperdense imaging on the floor of the left maxillary sinus of posterior teeth region, and rupture of the cortical bone of sinus floor and thickening of its membrane. The odontogenic localized secondary rhinosinusitis was diagnosed. Conventional endodontic treatment was performed with intracanal medication. Nine months later, the patient returned without symptoms and the new CBCT showed no periradicular lesion, corticalization of the maxillary sinus floor, and no sinus disease.\u0000\u0000 Conclusion: The dental resolution of presented case showed that patients with unsuccessful previous treatment for rhinosinusitis may suffer from endodontic diseases, which may fail without the dentist’s approach.

Some features that are consistent with WS include premature aging, loss, and graying hair, scleroderma-like skin changes. We report a 42-year-old man with cardinal signs of WS who also developed interstitial lung disease (ILD). The patient had past medical history (PMHx) of atypical left femur fracture in his early 30s from unknown causes. Also, he had loss and graying hair, salt-on-pepper skin changes, associated with squeaky voice, muscle wasting, and osteoporosis. He had worsening symptoms of dyspnea on exertion and was found with bilateral diffuse subpleural reticular opacities with slight mid- to lower-lung predominance and mild bronchiectasis without honeycombing or ground-glass airspace opacities on chest computed tomography (CT) scan. Other causes of ILD were excluded as patient routine laboratories and rheumatologic workup was negative. Werner syndrome presents similar features with other telomerase-associated diseases such as mutations of telomerase complexes [telomerase RNA component (TERC) and telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT)]. Werner syndrome can be difficult to diagnose because it is a rare genetic disease that begins to show symptoms and signs after 10 or 20-year-olds, but the diagnosis is recognized after 30s. Few cases have been reported about the association of WS and ILD, but both diseases are aging diseases. This case might be the first case reported in Puerto Rico of Werner syndrome associated with ILD. Early referral and treatment is important to improve patients’ quality of life and life expectancy by slowing the progression of the disease.\u0000","PeriodicalId":13833,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Case Reports and Images","volume":"43 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88057339","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
